Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound {systematic name: (3S,8S,9S,10R,13R,14S,17R)-17-[(E,2R,5S)-5-ethyl-6-methyl­hept-3-en-2-yl]-10,13-dimethyl-2,3,4,7,8,9,11,12,14,15,16,17-dodeca­hydro-1H-cyclo­penta­[a]phenanthren-3-yl p-toluene­sulfonate}, C36H54O3S, comprises two independent mol­ecules that differ significantly in terms of the relative orientations of the peripheral groups; the conformation about the C=C bond of the side chain is E. In the crystal, mol­ecules associate into linear supra­molecular chains aligned along the a axis via C—H⋯O inter­actions.
